Auburn tight end commit Arshad Jackson is the latest in a series of Auburn-committed to recruits to publicly declare that his pledge to the Tigers is tied to head coach Gene Chizik. Jackson, a three-star prospect from Lovejoy, Georgia, told 247Sports on Wednesday that he will end his commitment to Auburn if Chizik is fired at the end of the season.

"If Gene Chizik leaves, I'll be going to Florida State," Jackson said.
"If Chizik leaves, that'll be it. I won't know who the new
coach will be. But with Florida State, I'll know all the coaches."

Jackson, a 6-foot-6, 240-pound tight end, is planning to take an unofficial visit to Tallahassee this weekend but said is keeping a close eye on Auburn despite not having heard from any members of the AU coaching staff in weeks.
